I have another unknown to me here in White Point.
Steve saw it first on the grapevine and when I got there it dropped down and 
went under the car, then as I grabbed the camera it disappeared. I saw it 
briefly about sunset last evening and again around 8 am this morning.
It is the same shape as a robin and looks like it could be one except it is 
smaller, a touch finer build. The breast is much paler and there is 
something different about it somehow.  I got the impression of white 
flashing from under the wing, just a tiny spot,  not like a rump or belly, 
when it dropped down to the ground. It hops kind of sharply instead of 
walking hop. Make any sense to anyone? Maybe it is just a small robin but 
the colouring is off, to my mind.
Suggestions?? I will be keeping an eye out for it again but I ahve a lot on 
my table for today so I might not get a picture.
Marg,
White Point, Queens
